Hello,

I want to test bachefs file system on CentOS 7.
~$ cat /etc/system-release
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

I'm following the bcachefs howto: <a href="https://bcachefs.org/Howto/" title="https://bcachefs.org/Howto/">https://bcachefs.org/Howto/</a>.

Having a problem trying to complete make && make install of the bcache-tools.
After going through all the dependencies and insuring they are
installed on Cent 7, I get the following output on make && make
install:

Package blkid was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `blkid.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'blkid' found

Just rebuilt a C6 box last week as C7.

I was just given a Dell R720xd with 160 GB memory and 12x 900 GB drives
that I plan to deploy as my home mail/file/backup server to replace an
aging Supermicro server running CentOS 7. Yeah, it's gross overkill for
that and I expect to tuck most of the drives away for spares.

How should I RAID and partition this beast for maximum reliability?

My current C7 system is using 1 TB of 2 TB capacity on the root partition
(4x 1 TB drives in RAID 10). /boot is 300MB/50GB.

Hi,

what do I need to do to share the same directory with both NFS and samba?
SElinux requires 'samba_share_t' for samba and 'nfs_t' for NFS, and AFAIC
I can't set both at the same time on a directory.

Hi,

I'm currently fine-tuning OwnCloud on a CentOS 7 server. To configure
transactional locking, I need Redis with the corresponding PHP module.

Until recently the server has been running PHP 7.1. I simply installed
the 'redis' package as well as 'sclo-php71-php-pecl-redis', started
and/or restarted a handful of services, and things worked perfectly.

Now I'm upgrading my server to PHP 7.2, and it looks like there's one
package missing in the Software collections.

I installed CentOS 7.6 then installed all things QEMU on my machine. I have
a SPARC image I need to bringing up in a VM. I've been using
*qemu-system-sparc *on a box on which I have Fedora-30 installed.

$ qemu-system-sparc -m 256 -hda solaris_v2-qemu_v2.2.0.disk -nographic
-bios ./openbios-sparc32

Can I use *qemu-sparc* to bring up my Solaris image:
*solaris_v2-qemu_v2.2.0.disk* ?

If so, how?

It worked on C 6, but on a C 7 box, I've restarted crond, and cron.allow
doesn't have what's in cron.allw.local. What am I missing, folks?

Hi,

I realized this still uses php 7.2.10, while 7.2.20 was released almost
two weeks ago.

How are these packages updated? Who does that?

Any idea how to get the update in?

I have been running Mate on Centos 7 for some time but it does not work very well on my HiDPI laptop screen. Today I found that I am running version 1.16 of Mate whereas the current version is 1.22. Undoubtedly many of the issues have been fixed since 1.16 was released in 2016...

However, EPEL only provides 1.16 - a release from 2016 - and nothing later.

What is the recommended way to upgrade to 1.22?

Hello,

not sure if it's the right place to post.

I have a VMWare Workstation 15.1 VM based on Centos 7.6 (Kenel 3.10.0-957)
with the CentOS-QEMU-EV repository enabled.

Version of qemu is: 10:2.12.0-18.el7_6.5.1

I'm having an issue with qemu-kvm-ev, basically it looks like I'm not able
to create any VM. I'm getting a "NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0
stuck for 22s! [kworker/0:0H:5]" and the installation will not proceed.

Everything works fine if I use the standard qemu-kvm

I have a vague recollection--from several years back--there was once a
script out there that could be run on a CentOS 6.x system to test its
hardware compatibility for CentOS 7. (Not talking about a script to
actually do any upgrade; just check a system's hardware.)

Does anyone remember this? Remember the details? Thanks.

Good afternoon from Singapore,

May I know roughly how many more months before CentOS 8.0 will be released?

Singaporean Mr.

Hello!

Try to comile sope on CentOS 7

and get:

# make
This is gnustep-make 2.7.0.

I am trying to add an efi partition to my working kickstart file.

bootloader --driveorder=sda --append="rhgb quiet biosdevname=0
net.ifnames=0"
clearpart --all --initlabel
part / --ondisk=sda --fstype xfs --size=20000 --asprimary
part swap --ondisk=sda --size=4000 --asprimary
part /boot/efi --ondisk=sda --fstype efi --size=1000 --asprimary
part /home --ondisk=sda --fstype xfs --size=1 --asprimary --grow

the line with /boot/efi is the only new item other then "removing"
--location=mbr from the bootloader line. The install is not working.

I am trying to play with qemu uefi booting...
I found the OVMF package and installed it.

I added the "-bios /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd" to my command line.
when running it says cannot load "/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd"

The file is there. I'm trying this on CentOS 7.6

How do I correctly boot UEFI with qemu ?

Thanks

Jerry

I am building a new workstation based on EL8 now. As someone else here mentioned, the raw EL8 distribution
is unusable as a workstation. Therefore I am building lot of additional packages. Today I came across a problem
with a custom package with an Epoch version, that kills the yum/dnf update process (it tries to find a "best"
package etc.). My actually question; is the RPM Epoch stanza obsolete now (for EL8)? I remember that they also
started to delete Groups categories ...

First some history. This is an Intel MB and processor some 6 years old,
initially running CentOS 6. It has 4 x 1TB sata drives set up in two
mdraid 1 mirrors.

Hi folks,

for learning purposes I create KVM-based VM with the virt-manager. Later
I get rid of the VM and repeat the "process" again. When recreating the
VM I always enter the same values into the wizard in virt-manager (i.e.
I want to speicfy a given MAC).

I'd like to "automate" this procedure, all of what I do in virt-manager
for creating the new VM, I' d like to do it with a bash script using
virt-install.

I' wndering if it is possible to "record" the values when I enter them
into virt-manager and extract those values for usage with virt-install?

Hi,

Is there anyone responsible or a mechanism for CentOS 8 known issues
for possible inclusion in release notes? For those who are running RHEL
8 like myself, it would be good if we could give a heads up for c8
folks with certain issues when it releases.

Regards

Phil

All,

Seems like the latest CentOS 7.6 and I are not playing well together, these days.

I'm attempting to use our pxeboot setup to install the latest CentOS 7 on a
Dell PowerEdge R830. The install starts then gets to a certain point and
hangs. That certain point is: FADT indicates ASPM is unsupported, using BIOS configuration

Now I've tried to see where the Active Server Power Management setting is in the BIOS, but
have had no luck whatsoever.

Does Anyone with a RedHat subscription able to give a hint as to what
the solution to the following knowledgebase article is:

<a href="https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2801051" title="https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2801051">https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2801051</a>

I'm having a similar issue with an SFP on a Centos host, and am
searching for a way to view Optical RX/TX Power on the SFP.

From the switch side, I'm not seeing any RX Power from the Centos host.

Thanks in advance

Giles

Due to two months of back-to-back travel, I am way behind on the July
newsletter. I still hope to get it done for Tuesday or Wednesday this week.

This month, we expect reports from:

* Alt Arch
* Cloud
* NFV
* Promo
* Storage

as per the listing at <a href="https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup" title="https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup">https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup</a>

As I haven't given any of these groups my usual two-week warning, I
imagine that this comes as a surprise. But if you can get me a report of
some kind in the next couple of days, it would be hugely appreciated. If
not, that's on me, not on you.

Thanks.

Hi All - I have a CentOS 7 (image) that is fully updated. However its not
UEFI.

Is there a way to use an older computer and migrate my current image to be
UEFI so this new UEFI only computer I have will boot. Was hoping to not
have to completely re-install and setup for my needs.

Jerry
